[FIXED] bug in DateField resizing in FormPanel

[makados]

Hi
I have a next piece of code:


FormPanel formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(false);
formPanel.setLabelWidth(100);
formPanel.setFieldWidth(210);
formPanel.setIconStyle("icon-form");
formPanel.setFrame(true);
formPanel.setWidth(400);
formPanel.setButtonAlign(Style.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
formPanel.setScrollMode(Style.Scroll.AUTO);

DateField birthDateField = new DateField();
birthDateField.setFieldLabel(MCMessages.msg.contact_birthdate()); birthDateField.getPropertyEditor().setFormat(DateTimeFormat.getFormat("dd.MM.yyyy"));
birthDateField.setWidth(193);
formPanel.add(birthDateField);
DateField resizing doesn't work and I have that field bigger than others. Resizing of other fields in my FormPanel doesn't work too. If I write

formPanel.setFieldWidth(0);than resizing of all fields works except for DateField. And if I write

formPanel.setFieldWidth(-1);than resizing works well for all fields in the FormPanel

FormLayout now honors the field's width if it has been specified. Fix is in SVN.

In order to override the width of any fields, you should use a FormData and specify a width. Setting the width on the field itself will not work.

on beta5 next code


FormPanel formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(false);
formPanel.setLabelWidth(100);
formPanel.setFieldWidth(235);
formPanel.setFrame(true);
formPanel.setButtonAlign(Style.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);

birthDateField.setFieldLabel("Birthday"); birthDateField.getPropertyEditor().setFormat(DateTimeFormat.getFormat("dd.MM.yyyy"));
FormData fd = new FormData();
fd.setWidth(218);
formPanel.add(birthDateField, fd);
gives an error:

maybe in SVN its already fixed, i don't know :)

FormData needs to extend AnchorData which it does not in b5. This is correct in SVN.

This still doesn't work for me using the latest from SVN as of Wednesday 18th. I have code as follows:

FormPanel form = new FormPanel();
form.setHeaderVisible(false);
form.setFrame(false);
form.setBodyBorder(false);
form.setLabelWidth(100);

TextField<String> field = new TextField<String>();
form.add(field, new FormData(150, 0));

field.setLabelStyle("color: darkgray;");
field.setLabelSeparator("");
field.setFieldLabel("Test Label:");
field.setWidth(150);
field.setValue("Test Value");

----

The field width of "150" is not honored.

[darrellmeyer]

There is a slight change, you need to use a FormData instance to specify the field width (see the previous posts).

[michaelosity]

I did use a FormData() instance.

[darrellmeyer]

Sorry about that. I scanned your code and saw the line where you were setting the width directly first. There was a bug, the fix is in SVN.
